[Gabriel]
Where do I go?
Never had a very real dream before.
Now I got a vision of an open door.
Guiding me home, where I belong,
dreamland I have come.
Oh where do I go?
Never had a flesh and blood like this before.
Got a new appearance when I passed the door.
Is it a dream I am withing? Oh what's going on?
Down, down, down
Go down, go down, go down
I roam into nowhere.
Don't see an end: eternal wastelands.
And I hear the voice, the voice, the voice, the voice...
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Never been a fighter, neber been a man.
But I must help Vandroiy, he's my only friend.
Nowhere to go but I know that he knows how
we will get her out...
Magic of transcendence
brought me to this place
Vandroiy in reality lead me on my race.
Told me to bring back the seal
but still I don't know where I shall go.
[Lugaid]
Can't you 'feel' the voice?
You don't have a choice.
What a kind of life:
Freedom in flesh - shackles on your mind...
Go all the way to the tower!
Find out the secrets behind!
Go all the way to the tower!
For all the wisdom of ages doesn't die.
[Elderane]
Men have good intentions
on their way to the light.
But som of them are venal
and end up in the night.
Maybe it's better for you, mankind,
not to know what's going on.
[Gabriel]
Sometimes we must go
ways that seem to be wrong.
What a kind of life: Freedom in flesh,
shackles on your mind...
[Lugaid]
Go all the way to the tower!
Find out the secrets behind!
Go all the way to the tower!
Find out the name of the one
who reigns from inside...
[Voice in the Tower]
You have come the long way through ages
to bring me the seven parts of the seal.
So now throw it over the walls of the tower.
Throw the seal!
[Pope]
But first Godfather, what about the prophecy? What
about your reward: The ultimate illumination, the
gnosis and the power to defend your kingdom on
earth with a strong hand? What about the prophecy?
[Lugaid]
I realize...
[all]
For the glory, for the glory, for the glory,
For the glory. Oh - what is going on?
For the glory, for the glory, for the glory,
For the glory. Oh - what is going on?
[Lugaid]
Gabriel I can feel:
You have it back - book and seal.
Still no war is won, we have just begun...
Go all the way to the tower!
Long for the secrets behind!
Go all the way to the tower!
Found out the name of the one
who reigns from inside...
Go all the way to the tower!
Long for the secrets behind!
Go all the way to the tower!
Found out the name of the one,
Of the one...
[Jakob]
Oh, how could the stranger steal the seal away?
Was it my fault? Or was it no one's fault at all?
The lyrics THE TOWER of AVANTASIA is also present in the album The metal opera (2001)
Avantasia è un progetto musicale di power metal e symphonic metal creato da Tobias Sammet, vocalist e frontman del gruppo power metal Edguy. Il nome del progetto, un portmanteau delle parole 'avalon' e 'fantasia', descrive «un mondo al di là dell'immaginazione umana» (citazione dal booklet). Avantasia si compone di un singolo omonimo, due album in studio intitolati *The Metal Opera*, due EP chiamati *Lost in Space* e la recente trilogia *Scarecrow*. Sammet ha coinvolto nel progetto numerosi ospiti, tra cui Oliver Hartmann, Michael Kiske, Kai Hansen e Jorn Lande. Avantasia è considerato uno dei progetti più importanti del genere symphonic metal, apprezzato per le sue epiche melodie, i testi fantastici e la produzione di alta qualità. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si possono citare *The Great Mystery*, *Dying For An Angel* e *Starlight*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
